The Club Singer Leaves For Good

To put Zach through college, I became Scarlet, the hottest lounge singer at the Neon Lounge.

Later, he graduated from the University of Chicago, only to announce he was marrying his professor's daughter.

After five years of chasing him like a shadow, I finally gave up and decided to let him go.

Once my contract with the club expired, I turned my back on the city and went to teach in the rural Midwest.

But Zach actually tracked me down to that tiny elementary school in the middle of nowhere.
